Purpose: The primary goal of this study was to discover whether the articulatory diadochokinesis (sequential motionrate, SMR) collected using the Motor Speech Disorder Assessment (MSDA) software module can diagnose dysarthria and determine its severity. Methods: Two subject groups, one with spastic dysarthria (n=26) and a control group of speakers (n=30) without neurological disease, were set up. From both groups, the SMR was collected by MSDA at a time, and then analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: For the parameters of syllable rate, jitter, and the mean syllable length (MSL) at the front and back, the control group displayed better results than the dysarthria patients. Conclusions: At the level of articulatory diadochokinesis, the results showed that the use of MSDA software in clinical practice was generally suitable for quickly recording the parameters of syllable rate, jitter, and mean syllable length.

구치부 가위교합을 개선하기 위한 여러 방법 중, 교정용 미니임플란트(OMI)와 조합된 Dragon helix를 이용한 방법이 이전에 소개된 바 있으며 이는 간접 골성고정원의 역할이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 간접골성고정원으로 사용된 OMI의 식립각도에 따라 나타나는 구치부의 치근에 나타나는 응력분포와 OMI의 표면에서의 응력 분포 및 변위를 유한요소 해석으로 비교하고자 하였다. 상악 제1대구치와 상악 제2소구치의 치근 사이에 OMI의 식립 각도를 골 표면에 대하여, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$으로 변화시키면서 최대응력분포와 변위를 관찰하였다. OMI의 식립 각도가 $90^{\circ}$일 때 상악 제1대구치와 상악 제2대구치의 구개 치근첨에 최대응력분포가 나타났고, 상악 제1대구치에서는 협측으로 변위의 양이 가장 적게 나타났으며, 상악 제2대구치에서는 함입 및 구개측으로의 변위량이 가장 크게 나타났다. OMI에서는 식립각도가 감소됨에 따라 최대 응력분포가 나사첨 부분으로 이동되었으며, 그에 따라 OMI의 변위량은 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 OMI의 식립각도가 $90^{\circ}$일 때 고정원의 역할이 최대가 되었으며, 구치부 가위교합의 개선 효과가 가장 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Composite floor structures formed by continuous slab panels may be susceptible to excessive vibrations, even when properly designed in terms of ultimate limit state criteria. This is due to the inherent vibration characteristics of continuous floor slabs composed by precast orthotropic reinforced concrete panels supported by steel beams. These floor structures display close spaced multimode vibration frequencies and this dynamic characteristic results in a non-trivial vibration problem. Structural stiffening and/or insertion of struts between floors are the usual tentative solution applied to existing vibrating floor structures. Such structural alterations are in general expensive and unsuitable. In this paper, this vibration problem is analyzed on the basis of results obtained from experimental measurements in typical composite floors and their theoretical counterpart obtained with computational modeling simulations. A passive control system composed by multiple synchronized dynamic attenuators (MSDA) was designed and installed in these floor structures and its efficiency was evaluated both experimentally and through numerical simulations. The results obtained from experimental tests of the continuous slab panels under human walking dynamic action proved the effectiveness of this control system in reducing vibrations amplitudes.
